Temperature Monitor Function
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or a dirty air filter, “TEMP.”
will appear in the lower-left corner of the picture. If the temperature continues to
rise, the lamp will turn off, the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator on the projector
will flash, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the power will shut off. Refer
to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 37, for details.
• The cooling fan regulates the internal temperature, and its performance is automatically
controlled. The sound of the fan may change during projector operation due to changes
in the fan speed.
Lamp Monitor Function
When the projector is turned on after the lamp has been used for 900 hours,
“LAMP” will appear in the lower-left corner of the picture to advise you to replace
the lamp. See pages 38 and 39 for lamp replacement. If the lamp has been used
for 1,000 hours, the projector power will automatically turn off and the projector
will enter standby mode. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 37,
for details.
Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. Please have the nearest
Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer replace lamp if rupture occurs.
See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on pages 38 and 39.
Cautions Concerning the Setup of the Projector
For minimal servicing and to maintain high image quality, SHARP recommends
that this projector be installed in an area free from humidity, dust and cigarette
smoke. When the projector is subjected to these environments, the lens and filter
must be cleaned more often. Periodically the filter should be replaced and the
projector should be cleaned internally. As long as the projector is properly
maintained in this manner, use in these environments will not reduce the overall
operation life. Please note that all internal cleaning must be performed by the
nearest Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer.
• Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold.
Operating temperature: 41°F to 95°F (Ⳮ5°C to Ⳮ35°C)
Storage temperature: ⳮ4°F to 140°F (ⳮ20°C to Ⳮ60°C)
• The mark shown on the left calls the user’s attention to a part of the projector
that emits intense heat during operation.
• The exhaust vent, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may be extremely
hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until
they have sufficiently cooled.
• Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between the cooling fan (exhaust
vent) and the nearest wall or obstruction.
• If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will automatically
turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the
projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes. Then
turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the
projector to the normal operating condition.

Operation
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.
• The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be
distorted, making viewing difficult.
• Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colors, making viewing
difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
• A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See the table
below.)

• There are errors of 3% in the formulas above.
• Values with a minus () sign indicate the distance of the lens center below the bottom of the screen.
• The values do not match up when applying the formula in *1 to *4 above. However, this is not a calculation
error.
• For optimum focus, the recommended projection distance (L) is from 3 9 (1.15m) to 32 10 (10.0m).

Operation
Setting up the Screen
Using the Adjustment Feet
You can adjust the height of the image by raising the projector with the
foot releases.
1 Press the foot releases and lift the projector to the desired angle.
(Adjustable up to approximately 7° from the standard position.)
2 Remove your hands from the foot releases. Once the adjustment
feet have locked in position, release the projector.
3 If the screen is at an angle, the adjusters can be used to adjust
the angle of the image.
Returning the projector to its original position
While holding the projector, press the foot releases and slowly lower the projector
to its original position.
• When an adjustment is made, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending
on the relative positions of the projector and the screen.
• Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level.
Reversed Image Setup
Projection using a mirror
• When the distance between the projector and screen
is not sufficient for normal rear projection, you can
use a mirror to reflect the image onto the screen.
• Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
• Project the normal image onto the mirror.
• The image reflected from the mirror is projected onto
the translucent screen.
Rear projection
• Place a translucent screen between the projector and
the audience.
• Use the projector’s menu system to reverse the
projected image. (See page 34 for use of this
function.)
CAUTION
• When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the projector and the mirror so the light does not shine into the eyes of
the audience.
Ceiling-mount Setup
• It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceiling-mount
bracket for this installation.
• Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Authorized
SharpVision Dealer or Servicer to obtain the recommended ceiling-
mount bracket and hardware (sold separately). (AN-CM240 ceiling-
mount bracket, AN-EP101AP extension tube for AN-CM240 and
AN-PGCM80 ceiling adapter for AN-CM240.)
• When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper edge
of the screen as the base line.
• Use the projector’s menu system to select the appropriate projection
mode. (See page 34 for use of this function.)
CAUTION
• Do not press the foot releases when the adjustment feet are extended without firmly holding the projector.
• Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector.
• When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjustment feet and the
projector.
